Have a safe trip Lely...

Most of you that know Lely, also know that she's going away for a year to work on the cruise ships. I just want to wish her all the best. I hope that she gains the experience that she's hoping to gain and also has heaps of fun on her travels. May she also be enriched and grow from the many lessons she will learn while she's there.

For those of your that don't know Lely, she's one of the friendliest people you could ever meet. She's always there to pick you up when you're feeling down with her happy-go-lucky attitude towards life. She has touched many lives and will definately be missed...

Anyways, take care...have a great trip and I'll hopefully see you in a year! Come back Safe!

I'm still alive...

Ok, so I haven't blogged for a while. Why? I don't really know...it's not like I've been doing that much really. That's probably why I haven't blogged. So here I am just letting people know that I'm still alive.

I hope you're all keeping well and stuff...when I think of something to blog about I definately will!

Special Note: Mish, thanks for the card re: Thumper's passing. It was really sweet and I appreciate your thoughts and well wishes.

Goodbye my friend...

Today my Baby boy Thumper passed away...may you go to a better place with lots of daisies, carrots, bananas and other yummy things...I will miss you dearly...Thanks for the good times...the memories will last with me forever. You may have just been a pet, but I have so much to say thank you for...You were more than just a pet...you were my friend and confidant. The joy that you brought to my life will never be replaced. So long my little one...gone, but never to be forgotten...

R.I.P. My Thumper (Sometime 2001 - 16th May 2006)

I'm sorry if this post doesn't flow properly. It's been an emotional day...

Funny Bunny!

Last night Lely came over to see my family and of course Thumper! These two get along so well, Thumper practically lets her do anything to him! I just had to post some of these pics up coz they're really cute!

Lely and Thumper...hehe, he looks like a little baby all squished up here!

Someone looks nice and comfy...such a fat blob he doesn't want to move! He's so lazy Lely had to hold his ears up here otherwise she says he looks like a beaver?!

Hehehe...how funny is this pic! Thumper loves tummy rubs! haha

I wanted to post pictures of Binkie (Lely's Bunny) too, but I forgot my camera and the pics I took with my phone came out really crap! Binkie's eyes came out retarded because she naturally has red eyes and the flash made her eyes look white! It's scarey! So maybe next time if they get along I'll try and get a pic of them together!

Wandering the streets...

On Sunday afternoon I went down to Chapel Street for a while with Ash. There are a lot of things around Chapel that you wouldn't normally notice unless you had a tour guide like Ash with you! Took a few cool photos while I was down there...Ash pointed out all these cool stencils on the walls around that area! I never knew these things existed and people go to so much effort to do them! haha.

A smiley face grim reaper on the wall of a building in Greville St. Supposedly the guy that did this is quite famous!

Space invaders character again on another wall in Greville St. Ash told me that the guy that does these is French.

The Lenny store. It's pretty interesting. More like a beat up old house when you go inside converted into a little shop after you go upstairs and figure out where to go!

Ok so I had to put some shoe pics in here! This is soooo cool. It's supposed to be promoting the new Adicolor range of shoes from Adidas! How good do the colours look?!

You'll find this pic on the side of Dakota 501 on Chapel.

And last but not least is the shoe display from Provider on Greville St. For those of you out there that are really big on collecting Nikes. They have a great selection of bring backs here.

A big thank you to the guy working at Provider who let me take this photo!

Once we'd finished walking around we sat down for a coffee at Coffee Club on Chapel. I had a Melloccino (Cappuccino with marshmallows in it) and Ash had a latte. Across the road there's some trees and there must be hundreds of birds in the trees! They were squawking like crazy it was almost deafening!

I also booked myself in to make a custom pair of Puma runners @ the Puma Store on Chapel. Check it out at the Mongolian Shoe BBQ. It's pretty cool! You get to choose all the different parts of the shoe that you want and put it down on a stencil. Once you've finished they have it made at the factory and 4-6 weeks later wala! You have your own "one of a kind" shoes! That's next Saturday....I'm not too sure if I'm going to follow through with it. It's only going to be available for another 2 weeks, but I'm not sure if it's worth the $220. I'll let you all know later!

How was mother's day for everyone?

** Happy Mother's Day Mum! **

The flowers I gave to Mum for Mother's Day...they look like Pom Poms!

Mother's day turned out to be a pretty eventful day for me! I was so happy for my mum! My sister came over in the morning with her daughter (my niece, yup I'm an uncle)...I think that was the greatest present for her. Three generations all together...it was the best thing ever! I can't put into words how much it would have meant to her, but for those of you that know the story...You know what I'm talking about and I hope my Mum felt extra special...she deserves it!

Mum and little Amira.

My mummy has always been there to support me. She always knows the right things to say and her advice is more often than not correct. I don't know what I'd do without my Mum. Even though we don't talk much I still think she's one of the most important people in my life. Hehe...I'm a mummy's boy! =P

Amira amongst the flowers that my Mum received. Isn't she gorgeous?!?

Since my sister came and it turned out to be a surprise I decided to buy back lunch for mum instead of taking her out like I'd originally planned. That way we could have a more intimate lunch at home and talk properly without having to deal with all the crowds of people at the restaurants. I brought home some Malaysian food...chicken and cashews, beef rendang and sambal fish.

From left to right: Sambal fish, Beef rendang and Chicken & cashews.

All in all I think the day went well...it's nice to have a day to celebrate what all our Mothers mean to us. Although it would be even better if we could make everyday a Mothers day, don't you think?

Pool & Table Tennis

** Warning, lots of photos...sorry if it takes too long to load! **

Saturday night I had no plans as per usual being a spur of the minute person. I was just sitting at home looking up stuff on the internet and chatting to my friends on MSN. My friend Bharat decided that he wanted to go and eat so we went up to the local shops (Pinewood) to eat fish and chips...now these just aren't any old paper bag fish and chips, these are the best fish and chips ever! The shop is called Flake Attack! So if you're ever down don't forget to try it out!

You pay $7.90 (I think? I can't remember) and you get a flake, chips, and 2 serves of salad. Not bad huh?

I had the pasta pesto salad and potato salad. I'm not much of a salad person so I thought these would be the safest choices.

After we finished eating Sahil called up and came down to catch up with us. Was cool to see him again. We decided to head down to Princes and play some pool. The guys drank scotch, but I just stuck to my usual beer.

Sahil...Mr. Bling Bling! Hehe...sure you have enough rings?

Bharat and Sahil. Old high school buddies!

Me and Bharat. Nice jacket Bharat! haha...I wonder who that belongs to? It looks very much like mine! (Bharat really likes my jacket =P) Think next time you should follow me to HK to do shopping!

I had to put this photo in coz it looked cool! (BTW the shot missed...haha...bleh!)

And a few more action shots from the guys!

Sahil hehe...he likes to pose.

Bharat's drinking scotch technique! Hmm...still wearing my jacket! haha...maybe it makes you look more drunken!

On our way downstairs Sahil suggested Table tennis, so I thought what the heck may as well! I didn't realise Sahil was that good though. So he killed both Bharat and I!

Bharat in an action pose! Getting ready to receive Sahil's spinny serve!

Me...Table tennis action shot...bit blurry! Oh well!

Don't know what Sahil was doing here...but it looks sorta cool anyways!

After we finished all that Bharat wanted to go to KMart to buy a situp bench so we followed along. I think he's trying to work on a 6-pack...hehe...I should probably do the same!
